After a very long hiatus today marked a truly significant day in the car's history.After being put into storage 3 years ago due to critically dangerous amounts of rust in the shock towers, two weeks ago with the help of JasonDSM the GSX and a donor car I purchased were towed to a local shop in...
The bolt threads stripped.In my personal experience every time a thread strips on a bolt it's because the bolt wasn't designed to handle high torque specs. I can back this up because when I use a bolt of higher torque specs it does just fine. The threads were perfectly okay and the class 11...
Oh trust me, I know I will ;)I've had my GSX for almost 5 years and it was my first turbo AWD car that started as a daily and then became a project. Since buying a WRX as a daily a couple years ago I fought every single day not to wind more power into it and instead to focus on reliability...
Not to clog up this thread but a wideband o2 sensor wouldn't be a bad thing to have either. I run one in both my cars both as a safety measure and for logging purposes :DAlso also I'd consider running an electronic boost gauge rather than an analog one. Again, I have one in both of my cars...
11Well, they have an '11' stamped onto the head of the boltUpdate:JNZ bolt kit arrived today. They're exactly what I need!Threads weren't stripped so the two short class 11 bolts each with a pair of conical washers worked a dream!However for a CX Racing manifold you need 4 short style...
I just ordered an OEM set from JNZ. I'm not sold on ARP's exhaust bolts, though I do like the bolt-head design and I have heard stellar things about their head studs. As I said I completely rounded one of their exhaust bolts off, and a rounded thread won't cause a rounded bolt ime.And I don't...
Hey, if it's pricey but it's worth it then it's not too pricey :DI'll have to cross my fingers and hope that those bolts along with a thread chaser are enough to fix my issue. I really don't want to have to a.) tap new threads or b.) replace the compressor housing :( part of my punishment for...
As with all things DSM both thanks to time and the EPA many aftermarket/ replacement parts are becoming harder and harder to find ....My issue is with the four turbo-to-manifold bolts. I bought a used Evo III Big 16G that came with a CX Racing manifold (not ideal but it was free) and a Megan...
INTERCOOLER NOT INCLUDED. This piping kit is now out of production by Punishment Racing, so this kit is truly rare! It has never left its box and has been kept in a safe and dry location. Comes with all of the piping, silicone hose and clamps you will need to install your own intercooler on your...
This kit is designed to replace the factory plastic kit with a polished aluminium kit that uses silicone hoses and shiny new jubilee clamps. This kit has never been used and never left its original box, and after installing this kit your engine bay will not only look sportier but it will...
Regarding the coolant temp sensor theory,I am using stock injectors so those are all correct, and the Boost reading is staying at -28.9 the whole time during cranking. However when the car was running and driving about a month ago the Boost reading stayed at -28.9 too during startup and...
I have used this MAP sensor before countless times and it has had 0 issues. It's possible that the sensor crapped out on me without my knowledge :idontknow: I don't see any way of logging any MAP values, but the average MAF value was 13.9 Hz, and I have the MDP locked since i am running speed...
The 30A ignition switch fuse and 20A motor fuse are both working. If you pull the IS fuse the car doesn't have any accessory power, after I put it back in the car gets accessory power, and if you pull the motor fuse the CEL doesn't power on for 5 seconds, after I put it back in it does.I...
